Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is low — The facilities category scores just 5, indicating the property's amenities are limited — don't expect a gym, pool, or extensive on-site services.
  • Comfort rating modest — Comfort scores 7.5, below the overall rating, which may point to a firmer bed or a less plush interior than some guests would like.
  • Small apartment — At 26m², the space is compact — fine for a solo traveller or couple, but it may feel tight if you plan to spend a lot of time indoors.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place — the property's policy is clear that animals are not permitted.
